usb2 scanner on old machine

hello,
thinking of buying an epson 4490 flatbed scanner.
it uses usb2. my 15inch i-mac 1ghz G4 only has usb1.
not to worried about transfer speeds. just wondering
if it will work? the idea being the scanner will later
be used on new machine when this one retires.
many thanks for any help.

i-mac 1GHZ PowerPC G4 Mac OS X (10.4.4)

mleedham,

Check the specs on the new scanner. I am sure that you will find that it is backwards compatible to USB 1.
